SSN in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, SSNs are sometimes used to identify patients, particularly in older systems, though the use of SSNs has been largely replaced by other identifiers like medical record numbers or insurance IDs to protect patient privacy.
For example, a healthcare provider uses the patient’s insurance ID instead of their SSN for billing purposes to comply with privacy regulations.
